security issues - Enabling ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) in Xamarin. iOS project not working · Issue #19413 · dotnet/macios (original) (raw)
I've enabled ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) using the following setting in the "Additional mtouch arguments" field on the iOS Build tab: -gcc_flags "-fobjc-arc". However, when I analyze my resulting IPA file using the tool https://mobsf.live/, I'm getting a false result for the ARC flag.
Expected Behavior
I understand that the ARC memory management option is designed for Objective-C, and Xamarin.iOS primarily involves working with C# rather than Objective-C. Is it possible to enable ARC for a Xamarin? iOS project and have it recognized correctly when analyzing the IPA file with tools like mobsf. live.
Has anyone successfully configured ARC for Xamarin.iOS project, or is there a different approach or tool I should be using to ensure that the ARC flag is correctly identified in the IPA file? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.
